Bug Description
Binary package hint: mplayer
After recent mplayer updates, when clicking on a video file whose name includes space, from nautilus, gmplayer spits an error saying it could not open file x%20x.avi (format doesnt matter).
gmplayer probably replaces spaces with "%20", and then cant find the corresponding file.
But if i drag the same video file from nautilus to mplayer (gmplayer) play bar, the movie starts.
Same if i choose "open with" > mplayer (not gmplayer), the movie starts fine.
Its not a vital bug, but it can be quite annoying. :)

I can confirm this bug. The reason I see is that mplayer does not url-decode the filenames.
This should be forwarded upstream.
